Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Mikhail Gusev
Mikhail Gusev

Mikhail Gusev moved all in for 570,000 from under the gun and Maksym Lavrov on the button called after having asked for an exact count. Leonid Semenyuk in the big blind asked for the stack size of Lavrov and sent his cards into the muck.

Mikhail Gusev: {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Maksym Lavrov: {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

Gusev hit a pair on the {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop but Lavrov regained the lead on the {a-Clubs} turn. A blank {7-Clubs} fell on the river and that sent Gusev to the rail in 10th place. All nine remaining players will now redraw to the final table, take a break for the chip counts and the group picture.
